Identifier: id85024

Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Brother George [Lambert] is going to Williamsburg for a "matrimonial speculation after breaking the heart of the elite of the city of Richmond." The Fair closes that day, but has not been as successful as other years. "The theatre is open and Mr and Miss Cooper the attraction. Cannot avoid receiving, and having to return, many visits. Strongly recommends that Elizabeth read "The Deformed" and the "Admiral's Daughter" -- "intensely interesting but most harrowing to one's feeling." Many parties are in the offing. Is going to Black Woth [?] for Christmas.
